San Francisco

Words to come...



Arrival in Oakland, CA visiting Bop and Nana's old joint with a great view of the land.




Hitting the store for some wine.



Rick Lindholm and James Magnuson



The wedding site.



Miss Katy.



Hors d'oeurves on the patio.











Jennifer and Thomas



Joel, Katy, Jennifer, Thomas, Laura, Josh-before heading out.



SF Streets



I liked this one but I can't remember what it was called.



Liked this one too.



Yep, this one too.



This is a painting. Are you kidding? It was spectacular.



On our way out from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art-all thanks to a fine fellow who didn't say a word to us, motioned for the camera, snapped the shot and we said thanks!




SF Apple store on/near Market Street. It had a glass staircase. I have an IPhone. I now like Apple alot.



View from the hotel at night. We stayed at the Westin St. Francis just next to Union Square all thanks to Grant and Chris Gillespie! :) Thank you!



View from the hotel in the morning.



And again...there's NikeTown. Thought it wasn't that great! Men's stuff was pretty average and it was two floors of women's stuff. Ripoff!



Coit Tower-made to look like a fire hose nozzle. See it? A woman who gave the money and commissioned "beautifying of the city" just liked firemen I guess. It gave a good view of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and Lombard Street. (The really curvy street.)



We walked this hill. My calf hurt the next two days.



There's Alcatraz.



There's the Golden Gate Bridge.



Better shot of the bridge.







Someone who owns this sailboat has way way way too much money. Look at all that GPS, the sails that are released with the flip of a switch and the hugeness! And how spic and span it was.



Katy with her friends at Pier 39.



Ghiradelli Square was pretty nice but also very non-descript. Nothing amazingly exciting but neat to see where it started.



Palace of Fine Arts--zillowed a bunch of houses nearby and nothing was under 2 million. Many for 3.5-5.5 million.



We took a bus to the Palace of Fine Arts and then walked to this point to see the bridge. There she was.



Alcatraz again.



That's about it! A very fun trip overall but didn't get to see enough! Can I go back? :)
